Sales Detail
Grange (Qld) has an estimated 4,934 residents, up from 4,615 at the 2021 Census — a change of 319 people, or 6.9%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 2,819 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to investigations of ABS population estimates for the region, alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Grange (Qld) has a population calculated to be approximately 4,934 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 319 people (6.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,615 people. The variation is derived from the resident population of 4,934, calculated by AreaSearch through examining the most recent ERP data published by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 6 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This size of population corresponds to a density ratio of 2,819 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the upper quartile compared to nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The 6.9% growth of the suburb of Grange (Qld) since the census puts it within 2.4 percentage points of the national average (9.3%), indicating competitive growth characteristics. Demographic expansion in the locality was mostly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 66.0% of total population additions during recent periods, though all factors including natural growth and interstate migration were positive influences. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas without this coverage, and for years after 2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, published in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are utilized. It is worth noting that these state projections do not include age category splits; therefore, where used, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking at future demographic trends, lower quartile growth of national statistical areas is projected, with the suburb of Grange (Qld) anticipated to grow by 149 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a rise of 3.0% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
59 new dwellings have been approved in Grange (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Grange has seen around 11 new homes approved each year, totalling an estimated 59 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 13 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 4.1 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is significantly outpacing supply, which typically puts upward pressure on prices and increases competition among buyers, while new homes are being built at an average value of $1,053,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
There have also been $594,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. When measured against Greater Brisbane, Grange records markedly lower building activity (65.0% below regional average per person). This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is likewise lower than nationally, reflecting market maturity and pointing to possible development constraints. Meanwhile, recent development has been entirely comprised of detached houses, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. New construction favours detached housing more than current patterns suggest (82.0% at Census), demonstrating ongoing robust demand for family homes despite increasing density pressures.The location has approximately 379 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area. Looking ahead, Grange is expected to grow by 149 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

3,002 residents of Grange (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 3,056. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 78.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,791, about 77% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Grange features a highly educated workforce, with professional services showing strong representation, an unemployment rate of just 1.7%, and 2.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,002 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.6% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (78.8% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Based on Census responses, a high 34.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Employment among residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in professional & technical, with employment levels at 1.7 times the regional average. In contrast, retail trade employs just 6.2% of local workers, below Greater Brisbane's 9.4%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 2.0% while labour force increased by 2.3%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2% and labour force growth of 3.4%, with a 0.1 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Grange. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Grange's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.4% over five years and 15.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,615 at the 2021 Census → 4,934 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
